Be it known that I, I'IICRMAN J. Suns, a citizen. of the United States,and a resident of the city of New York, horough of the 7 Bronx, in thecounty of Bronx and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedComposition for Treating Fabr1c,

oil. which the following is a full, clear, and

exact description.

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements intreatingfabric. and it pertains more particularly to a method oftreating" fabric for rendering the same tra nsluee'ot.

it is one of the objects of the invention to provide a fabric which isespeeiallv zulapted for use in the n'lanul arture of lamp and. while thefabric is especiallv adapted for this purpose it is also rapahle of onein other connee'tions as well.

In carrying out the process, gelatine and vater are boiled togethm' inthe'proper pro portions to produre a fluid mass ol a (01]- sisteneyeapahle of hein r spread'hy means ol' a hrush or similar lilll llfilllkilt. .i l't'ter this i as been aeroiuplished, yeast, and alum ateoi? lead are added to the composh and :1 tion. position wives thenecessary body to the liquid which is transparent. and at the same timeserves to till th interstices in the fabric when the eonipound isapplied thereto. The artion of? the yeast in the romponnd is to preventundue shrinking of the fabric during the drying: process.

In treating the fabric the composition i1 spread thereover in anysuitable manner and in the. manufacture of lamp shades the labric sosaturated with the composition is stretched over the shade frame in awet state. ,The fabric, however, may be stretched prior to the treatmentthereofif desired.

During the drying proress the fabric shrinks to the irame and after thedrying proeess is completed, the whole is covered with a suitablewaterproof transparent varnish.

' From the foregoing it is apparent that the present invention providesa new and useful method of treating fabrics for rendering; the sametranslueenh and, at the same time, produces an artiele of manufactureespecially adapted for the purpose of ina ug lamp shades.
